My Beck quote of the day: "You deserve credit for taking the time to prepare meals; eating all of your food slowly, while sitting down and enjoying every bite; sticking to your plan precisely; and filling in your Food Plan Chart."

I ran over 3 miles today! Counting the warm up and cool down that was primarily walking, I went a total of 4.33 miles. It was an almost pain-free run. Hooray!! I did the 5K after warm up in right at 31 minutes. That's way off my PR of 27:33, or ... Read more

Senior Games opened today, but my training is suffering. I ran about 50 steps and decided my heel was just too sore to run. Will try again tomorrow. It rained most of the day, so I didn't want to ride my bike. Hubby had the car for his Senior Ga... Read more

Want to thank everyone who put Ryan in their thoughts and prayers. He is 22 years old, the father of my only step grandchild. His brain tumor was benign and his healing is going very well. Two weeks after surgery and the only treatment he is exp... Read more

Indulge this grandmother. I have to share this true story.
Yesterday while I was helping 8 year old Natalie with her piano lessons, hubby was keeping half an eye on 4 year old Gwen who was playing outside. Suddenly Gwen came bursting into t... Read more

Part of the reason I have been sleep deprived this week, the Sweetheart Dance on Saturday February 21st. Hubby and I really enjoyed, although getting up at 3am for the Gasparilla races that morning was a challenge!! Hubby looked really nice. Lov... Read more

I wrote a long blog with pictures this morning and it just disappeared when I clicked on "post blog entry." Sigh. I'll try again.
The Gasparilla races were so much fun! Here's a picture a friend of mine took of the pirate ship next to the c... Read more

My keys were in the legos. No kidding. Just when I wanted my keys to take Barb to Lake Hollingsworth, a beautiful area to walk or run, I could not find them to save me. After she left I spent over an hour looking for them, and there they were, w... Read more

Dear Barb is coming to Florida just when it is getting cooler and cooler. We have freeze warnings for Friday, so I suspect she'll feel right at home. Takes me back to the years (1992-1997) we lived in North Carolina . I grew up in Florida and ju... Read more

Ryan is now able to swallow pureed foods, but his speech is very limited. He has said "hey" and "hi" and he shakes his head yes and no. He seems to be having no trouble understanding speech. He gets frustrated trying to write. He is able to walk... Read more

Ryan continues to make progress. Thanks for prayers.
I'm really getting excited about our upcoming SparkPeople meet-up. We have found child care for Sunday so I'm available and can go watch Barb, her cousin, and my niece run the half marath... Read more

Didn't do as well eating as I would have liked yesterday. Enjoyed the women's college softball game, though. Today I did better eating. It'll be okay. I'm trying to develop that NO CHOICE mindset every day, but I'm not there yet.
